On Our Way to the Cruise











We left the house at 8:30 and started on our way to New Jersey. We stopped for a bathroom break and a snack before getting stuck in some nasty traffic in New York. When we got to the port, Dennis parked the car and we waited to get on board. The embarkation process was easy and we were soon on board. Our room was on the 7Th floor at the back of the boat. It was beautiful! Much larger than any room we have had before and the balcony was great:)
We went up to the top deck and walked around a bit. Music started playing and the kids danced around. We found some chairs and sat to watch the boat leave port. We saw New York City from distance and also the 9/11 memorial. Dinner was fabulous and our waiters were great. Siddhartha and Darryl were from India. We ended up being the only people at the table all week. Boy, did we eat too much.
After dinner, we signed the kids up for the Adventure Ocean Club and went back to the room. The kids crashed so fast! Den and I had some time to sit out on the balcony and enjoy some coffee.
It was a wonderful first day of vacation
